Leishmaniasis in Palestine
In the following charts, I’ve compared reported incidence rates for cutaneous leishmaniasis in the two states which comprise Palestine. Note that disease rates in a third area (Gaza / West Bank) are two- to three-fold those reported by Israel and Jordan. Significantly, current rates in Syria (per 100,000) are approximately one hundred-fold those of Israel (280 vs. 3 in 2016) [1,2]
